The Sony DXC-D30 is a bench mark

setting digital video camera

designed as a top-end model for

video professionals. Incorporating

Sony’s latest DSP (Digital Signal

Processing) technology based on Sony’s

TruEye™ process, the DXC-D30 offers

the faithful color reproduction never

before experienced with conventional

analog or digital cameras. Drastic vertical

smear reduction and high sensitivity

achieved by the Power HAD™ CCDs

provide more shooting opportunities,

while maintaining superior picture

quality.

Now Sony introduces the DXC-D30WS

wide screen camera to Sony’s

professional digital camera line-up. The

DXC-D30WS incorporates three Power

HAD WS™ CCDs which have been

specifically designed for a 16:9 aspect

ratio, switchable to 4:3. When shooting

in the 16:9 format, the DXC-D30WS offers

outstanding picture quality and

tremendous flexibility for a variety of

applications.

The DXC-D30 and DXC-D30WS are

cameras which fit the current analog and

digital acquisition systems as well as

Sony’s new production system based on

the DVCAM digital recording format.

These cameras dock directly not only to

existing camera adaptors and analog on-

board VTRs via an analog interface, but

also to the newly developed Sony DSR-1

DVCAM Digital Recorder via a component

digital interface, “Pro 76-pin Digital”

connector.

The DXC-D30/D30WS also offers superior

in the operational convenience.

Responding to the increasing demands

from professionals, it provides a variety

of key automatic functions. With all

these features packed in its compact

camera body, the DXC-D30/D30WS

creates a new world of acquisition in

a wide spectrum of applications.

DXC-D30WS

DXC-D30

The DXC-D30/D30WS incorporates state-of-the-art digital

camera processing technology which is designed to fully

exploit the benefits of DSP (Digital Signal Processing).

■TruEye™ Process

The TruEye digital signal process employed in the DXC-D30/

D30WS is a true innovation in camera signal processing,

made possible by Sony digital signal technology.

In conventional RGB analog or digital processing, some

nonlinear signal processing occurs after gamma correction,

such as white clip and knee correction, and can result in hue

factor distortion - a phenomenon that is particularly obvious in

extreme high-light conditions. This significant problem is

totally eliminated by the TruEye process which manages video

signal data according to three factors - brightness, hue and

saturation - so that color in even a wide dynamic range can be

reproduced as faithfully as by the human eye without hue

factor distortion.

Based on the TruEye system, the DXC-D30/D30WS also

offers a unique feature called DynaLatitude™ which adaptively

manages the contrast of each pixel according to a histogram of

video signal level distribution. The DynaLatitude feature

brings a new dimension to other technologies such as

Dynamic Contrast Control (DCC). The DynaLatitude feature

optimizes video level distribution based on video signal

histograms in order to utilize the limited dynamic range of the

video signal standard.

■Real Time Self Diagnostics

Even though the DXC-D30/D30WS was designed to be highly

reliable, it employs a powerful self diagnostic system which

informs the operator, in real time, of the connecting conditions

of the LSI (Large Scale Integration) circuits and printed circuit

boards, as well as electrical connection conditions between the

camera and a VTR. Even if the operator is not familiar with

digital circuitry, the DXC-D30/D30WS informs them of exactly

what is happening.

■High Picture Quality

The horizontal resolution and the signal to noise ratio of the

DXC-D30/D30WS are ranked among the highest in the

industry. The Modulation Depth of the DXC-D30 is 55%

(typical) at 5MHz and that of the DXC-D30WS is 70% (typical)

in the 16:9 mode. The newly developed digital circuits

drastically reduce the aliasing phenomenon, which was found

even in conventional digital cameras, while maintaining the

high resolution.

■High Stability and

Uniformity

Having DSP technology, the DXC-D30/

D30WS assures a high degree of stability

through its video output. The picture

tone is kept uniform among multiple

DXC-D30/D30WS’s.

■Detail Corrections by DSP

Skin Detail with Auto Detection of Active Area

The Skin Detail function in the DXC-D30/D30WS gives the

subject a pleasing facial complexion, while maintaining the

sharpness of the other areas. The designated active area of

Skin Detail can be set with the digital circuits by simply

adjusting the Area Detect Cursor on the viewfinder screen and

SKIN SET button on a camera side panel. The color range of

the Skin Detail active area and Skin Detail level can be also set

by the viewfinder menu system. The range of color detection

for detail correction is 360 degrees.

Black Halo-Free, Clean Detail

The DXC-D30/D30WS provides edges with a natural line and

appropriate thickness in areas with extreme dark-to-light or

light-to-dark transitions, by digitally optimizing the level of

detail signal to each of the transition points, not by just

clipping the detail signal. Consequently, the ‘Black Halo’ effect

which is seen as thick black edges surrounding an extremely

bright object, as well as a stepping diagonal edge, have been

dramatically reduced.

Red Vertical Detail Correction

The Vertical Detail Correction signal, which is digitally created

from both the Green and Red signals, assures image

sharpness when shooting highly saturated subjects or subjects

bathed in red light.

Horizontal Detail Frequency Control

The Horizontal Detail Frequency can be controlled by the VF

Menu System according to the user’s preference.

Power HAD CCD (DXC-D30 only )

The DXC-D30 incorporates three Power HAD CCD sensors.

These sensors feature a minimal smear level equivalent to

conventional FIT CCDs, which addresses the tough demands

of the high-end production field. The total performance of the

Power HAD CCD sensor approaches that of the standard FIT.

■Low Smear Level

Vertical Smear Level of the DXC-D30 is -125dB which is the

same level as conventional FIT sensors. This feature will give

the operator more freedom to shoot subjects in high light

situations.

■High Sensitivity

The Power HAD sensor in the DXC-D30 achieves a high

sensitivity of F11.0 (at 2000 lx, 3200K) and minimum

illumination of 0.5 lx. This feature affords a greater

opportunity to shoot under extremely low-light conditions.

■High S/N Ratio

The improved CCD process combined with the camera’s new

digital circuits means a reduction in CCD noise. The signal-

to-noise ratio is improved to 63dB, one of the highest

specification in the industry.

Enhanced Ease of Operation

Responding to the increasing demands for more automatic

functions in a professional level camera, the DXC-D30/D30WS

boosts several new and improved functions sure to please the

most demanding camera person.

■Total Level Control System (TLCS)

Even if the incoming light exceeds the range of the automatic

iris control either above or below, by using the iris control in

combination with Auto Gain Control (AGC) and CCD AE (Auto

Exposure, the application of variable shutter of CCD), the

DXC-D30/D30WS offers proper picture exposure. This

function is called TLCS. While still maintaining low-noise

characteristics, TLCS affords ease of operation for this high-

end professional camera.

The DXC-D30 is a digital signal processing camera, and its sister

model DXC-D30WS is a wide-screen camera for the 16:9 aspect ratio

with a switching capability to also capture the image in a 4:3 aspect

ratio. Both models have the following features.

■EZ Focus Function

EZ Focus is a function to assist focusing without stopping

down the lens. By just pushing the EZ Focus button, the iris

is automatically opened so that the depth of field is reduced to

make critical focusing easier. At the same time, the electronic

shutter is automatically set to obtain the correct light level.

The EZ Focus function is overridden while recording.

■New EZ Mode Function

Instantly setting a camera to a standard or an auto position is

done by simply pressing the EZ Mode button. The DXC-D30/

D30WS has two alternative EZ Modes - STANDARD or

CUSTOM. When set to CUSTOM EZ Mode, the camera setting

is changed in accordance with the selected setup file.

■Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)

In the DXC-D30/D30WS, tracing of the white area in Auto

Tracing White Balance (ATW) is fast enough to meet

professional demands. In addition, the accuracy of the white

balance adjustment is enhanced.

Enhanced Functions for Picture

Creation

■Camera Setup Files

The DXC-D30/D30WS is equipped with a convenient

VF (Viewfinder) Menu System; a control menu with

superimposed characters on the VF screen. Depending on the

requirement, the menu contents can be selected with the

SETUP (STD/FILE) selector switch.

STD position (Standard VF Menu System)

When the SETUP switch is set to the STD position, setting of

the camera parameters or defining of the switch functions can

be done with the VF Menu System, the same way as with

conventional Sony cameras.

FILE position

(VF Menu System for File Management)

When the SETUP switch is set to FILE position, a total of eight

setup files can be used with the dedicated VF Menu System.

These files are as follows.

Factory Preset Files

Five Factory Preset Files are set by Sony to accommodate the

five most common lighting situations, such as STANDARD,

HIGH SATURATION and FLORESCENT.

User Files

Three User Files allow the operator to set camera parameters

which match their own particular shooting situations. User

Files can be easily made by modifying a Factory Preset File.

■Scene Files

With the optional Sony RCP-TX7 Remote Control Panel with

powerful remote capabilities, 16 scene files can be created and

stored. Almost all the parameters for camera operation and

camera set-up can be stored into scene files, and the most

suitable file for each shooting situation can be instantly

recalled using the menu button on the RCP-TX7.

■Setup Data Management with

DVCAM Cassette

The DXC-D30/D30WS combined with the DSR-1 has the

following camera data management;

SetupNavi™ — Camera Setup File Storage

The DXC-D30/D30WS combined with the DSR-1 has the

SetupNavi function to store the User Files or Factory Preset

Files of the DXC-D30/D30WS directly onto VAUX (Video

Auxiliary) data territory of the DVCAM cassette tape. The data

can be stored on or recalled from the tape via the VF Menu

System.

Using the DVCAM cassette as a medium, the setup data can

be transferred to other DXC-D30/D30WS’s.

SetupLog™ — Automatic Recording of

Camera Setting Data

Even without using the file system, the information of each

setting parameter of the DXC-D30/D30WS for every shot is

automatically recorded by the DSR-1 on the VAUX territory in

each video track of the DVCAM cassette tape. This function is

called SetupLog. It is useful not only for the camera operator

if there is a need to re-take the same shot, but also for

checking the operating conditions during a particular shoot.

■File Management from Personal

Computers

The REMOTE connector (10-pin) of the DXC-D30/D30WS is

designed in accordance with the RS-232C standard. This

feature also makes it possible to manage the setup file data

from personal computers with proper Sony protocol.

Convenient Features

■Remote Control of Hyper Gain

Hyper Gain is a convenient function for shooting under

extremely low-light situations without using a lighting system.

It instantly increases the gain-up value to be +36dB in total,

combining the electronic gain-up of +30dB and the Dual Pixel

Readout effects (equivalent to +6dB gain-up). The Hyper Gain

can be assigned to be the highest gain position (H) of the

GAIN selector switch (H/M/L). Consequently, Hyper Gain can

be switched on or off remotely from the RM-M7G, CCU-M5,

CCU-M7 or the CCU-TX7 system.

■Adjustable Black Stretch and

Compress

The contrast in the black area of the image can be adjusted by

the black stretch/ compress control function. Black Stretch

emphasizes the contrast in the dark areas, while Black

Compress enhances or deepens the darkness.

■Dual Zebra

The DXC-D30/D30WS has two types of zebra patterns -

‘ZEBRA 1’ and ‘ZEBRA 2’. ‘ZEBRA 1’ can be set within a range

of 70 IRE to 90 IRE by 1 IRE. ‘ZEBRA 2’ provides a zebra

pattern in the area with more than 100% video level. Dual

zebra display - to show both ZEBRA 1 and 2 - as well as

display of either one is possible.

■Monitor Out

The DXC-D30/D30WS is equipped with a MONITOR OUT

connector (BNC). Via this connector, the user can check the

shooting conditions by displaying a color picture with

characters superimposed on a connected external monitor.

This is in addition to the image displayed on the unit’s

viewfinder.

■Dockable to a Variety of VTRs

The DXC-D30/D30WS is equipped with two types of

connectors - the new ‘Pro 76-pin Digital’ connector and the

conventional ‘Pro 50-pin’ connector. The Pro 76-pin Digital

connector supplies 4:2:2 10-bit component digital output,

which allows expandability for unlimited applications and

future digital interfacing, with a variety of devices. Via the Pro

76-pin Digital connector, the DSR-1 DVCAM Recorder can be

directly docked to the DXC-D30/D30WS. Through the Pro

50-pin connector, a variety of dockable analog video recorders

can be attached to the DXC-D30/D30WS.

■Supports Current CA and CCU

Via the Pro 50-pin connector, the CA-537/ 327/

325A/ 325B Camera Adaptors can also be used just

like the current camera system. Via the Pro 76-pin

Digital connector, the CA-TX7 Triax Adapter can be

connected. Sony’s RM-M7G, CCU-M5, CCU-M7

and CCU-TX7 can also be used for remote control

operation.

■With Personal Computers

The 10-pin connector (REMOTE Connector) for the

RM-M7G and RCP-TX7 is designed in accordance

with the RS-232C standard. This allows the

DXC-D30/D30WS to be remotely controlled from an

external personal computer with proper Sony

protocol.

■VCL-918BY

Inner Focus Zoom Lens

To meet the enhanced performance of the DXC-D30/

Power HAD WS™ CCD

The DXC-D30WS is equipped with three chips of newly

developed 2/3-inch Power HAD WS IT CCDs with a high

packing density of 520,000 pixels (total)/ 480,000 pixels

(effective). Since the CCD is designed for the 16:9 aspect

ratio, with a capability to be switched to 4:3, high quality

images can be obtained in the 16:9 mode without any image

loss. High sensitivity of F11 (at 2000 lx, 3200K), remarkable

signal to noise ratio of 63dB and a virtually invisible smear

level of -120dB are achieved.

16:9 and 4:3 Switchable

Thanks to the adoption of the new wide aspect CCDs and

digital signal processing, the DXC-D30WS can operate in both

16:9 widescreen and conventional 4:3 mode without any

additional conversion equipment.

16:9 ID Pulse

When shooting 16:9 images, the DXC-D30WS automatically

adds a wide aspect ID pulse signal, which indicates that the

picture is shot in 16:9 aspect ratio, on the video output signal

from the camera VBS OUT, MONITOR OUT and 50-pin/76-pin

interface. The 16:9 aspect ratio picture shot by the

DXC-D30WS can be recorded and played back with Sony

DSR-1/30/60/80/85 DVCAM Players/Recorders, SVO-5800

V-VHS Recorder, SVP-5600 S-VHS Player and all types of

UVW/PVW Players/Recorders.

Selectable Preset White Balance

The color temperature of the preset white balance can be

switched to conventional 3200K or 3000K. This makes it

possible for the DXC-D30WS to capture natural color

reproduction even under a low color temperature lighting

condition.

DXF-701WS

The DXF-701WS is a new 1.5-inch black and white

viewfinder developed for the DXC-D30WS, with the

following features. The DXF-701WS can also be used

with the DXC-D30 in the 4:3 mode.

■Aspect Ratio Adjustment

With the DXF-701WS, the viewfinder scanning size can be

switched into AUTO or FULL, using the viewfinder control

menu. In AUTO mode, viewfinder scanning size is

automatically changed according to the camera aspect ratio

(4:3 or 16:9), as shown in (A) and (B). In FULL mode, the

image is displayed using the full size of the screen. This

means that the 16:9 image in FULL mode is vertically enlarged

as (C) shows, while the 4:3 image in FULL mode is the same

as AUTO mode (A). As a result, the shape in the 16:9 picture

captured in FULL mode is not exactly the same as what it

should be, but the use of the whole screen in FULL mode

provides greater viewing comfort.

In addition to the features described

previously, the DXC-D30WS has the

following features.

Figure (A)

Figure (B)

Figure (C)

FULL mode in 16:9

AUTO mode in 16:9

AUTO/FULL mode in 4:3

■V/H Detail Control

Both vertical and horizontal detail levels can be variably

adjusted by the PEAKING potentiometer on the viewfinder

body, while monitoring the ratio of both detail levels.

■Two Red REC Tally Lamps

In addition to the standard REC tally above the viewfinder

screen, another REC tally is located below the screen to

prevent overlooking the REC tally indication. This second tally

lamp is ON/OFF switchable through the ADVANCED MENU.

■TAKE Tally Lamp

The DXF-701WS also has a TAKE tally lamp for use with the

ClipLink system. The TAKE tally can also be used as a second

tally lamp for CCU operations.

■Reliable and Ergonomic Design

A diecast aluminum body makes the DXF-701WS extremely

durable. The viewfinder’s position can be adjusted in a broad

horizontal plane according to the operator’s preference. The

large diameter eye cup not only provides greater comfort but

also simplifies focusing. A wide range of diopter adjustments

(-3 to 0) is provided to compensate for differences in eyesight.

High Quality Betacam SP

Camcorder

The PVW-D30 is a Betacam SP PRO2000 Camcorder

consisting of the DXC-D30 and the PVV-3 Betacam SP

Recorder. The high quality picture of the DXC-D30 can be

directly recorded onto the Betacam SP format - one of the best

analog recording formats currently available in the

professional field. The status information and data from the

PVV-3, such as time code, recording audio level, remaining

battery power, and remaining tape time can be superimposed

on the viewfinder.

(Note: These features and functions are also available with the

DXC-D30WS when combined with the PVV-3.)

Acquisition Tool for the DVCAM

System

The DSR-130 Two-piece DVCAM Camcorder - the

combination of the DXC-D30 and the DSR-1 Digital Recorder

- is an acquisition tool based on the DVCAM recording format.

The following are the basic features of the DSR-130.

(Note: The following features and functions are also available

with the DXC-D30WS combined with the DSR-1.)

■DVCAM Recording Format

Sony’s DVCAM recording format is designed for professional

use. While maintaining the playback compatibility with the

consumer DV recording format, higher picture quality is

achieved by the wider track pitch of the DVCAM format.

■Equivalent to One-piece Camcorder

The DXC-D30 and the DSR-1 have been carefully designed so

that the DSR-130 can operate just like a one-piece camcorder.

The recording status and the warning messages from the

DSR-1 can be superimposed on the viewfinder of the

DXC-D30. The body of the DSR-1 and the DXC-D30 are

made of magnesium, which makes the DSR-130 a lightweight

yet durable camcorder.

When recording with the DSR-1, both DVCAM Mini

Cassette tapes (PDVM -40ME/ 32ME/ 22ME/ 12ME or

PDVM-40N/32N) and DVCAM Standard Cassette tapes

(PDV-184ME/ 124ME/ 94ME/ 64ME or PDV-184N/ 124N/

64N) can be used without any adaptors. Maximum recording

time of PDVM and PDV tapes are 40 minutes and 184 minutes

respectively.

Time Code Superimposed during

Playback

For operational convenience while shooting, the time code is

superimposed on the viewfinder screen or MONITOR OUT

screen, even during playback.

CH-1 Audio Level Control

The CH-1 audio level can be adjusted with the level control

located on the front panel of the DXC-D30 while recording with

the DSR-1.

Edit Search

The DSR-1 incorporates an Edit Search function. Its control

button is located on the side panel of the DXC-D30 to afford

easy access while shooting.

Freeze Mix Function

When the camera operator needs to shoot a subject in the

same framework as that of a previously recorded subject, it

was very difficult to perfectly place the subject in the same

position as the previous shot with conventional cameras. With

the DSR-130, a picture previously recorded on the DVCAM

tape can be superimposed on the viewfinder screen, so that

the camera operator can easily frame or position the subject

just like a previous shot.

ClipLink System

The ClipLink system is a comprehensive shooting information

and image management system necessary for the total digital

production process, ranging from acquisition to editing. The

ClipLink system in combination with Sony’s new digital video

products such as the DSR-130 Digital Camcorder, the Digital

VTRs (DSR-85/80/60), and the ES-7 EditStation™ System will

enhance the productivity and operating efficiency throughout

the entire video production process.

■ClipLink Data

The DSR-130 automatically generates two types of useful

information while shooting, which drastically reduces the work

traditionally required during the video tape editing process.

One is Index Picture which is a digitally miniaturized picture of

the video image of the “in” point of each shot - MARK IN

point*. Index Pictures are recorded on the DVCAM tape. The

other is shot information needed for the editing process, such

as reel number, scene number, take number, time code of

MARK IN/ MARK OUT point*, and OK/NG status. This

reference data is stored in the Cassette Memory of the DVCAM

Cassette Tape.

The combination of these two types of information is called

ClipLink data. The ClipLink data can be quickly uploaded to

the EditStation System from the DVCAM Digital VTRs, so that

the selection of usable shots can be done using only visual

ClipLink information displayed on the monitor of the

EditStation. The ClipLink system eliminates the work of

having to load all the shots on the tape to the EditStation

System.

■TAKE button

The DXC-D30 has a TAKE button on the front of the camera.

Depending on the situation, the user can assign it to operate

either in a MARK or a CUE mode using the VF Menu System.

In the MARK mode, it triggers to record the time code of

MARK IN or MARK OUT points* as well as an Index Picture of

the MARK IN point during shooting everytime it is pushed.

The MARK button is useful, for example, if the program

origination is based on a certain sequence.

In the CUE mode, the moment the recording is started or

ended is regarded as the MARK IN or MARK OUT point. In

addition to this, the time code of the CUE point** is recorded

by pushing the CUE button. Logging of the CUE point is

useful for shooting events where the shooting sequence is

undetermined or very changeable.

* MARK IN/ MARK OUT point:

Starting/ Ending point of a duration to be used for

editing. In the ClipLink System, the Index Picture of the

MARK IN point is automatically recorded as well.

**CUE point:

The point where an operator wants to review work at a

later time. The CUE point does not accompany an Index

Picture.

■NG button

NG (No Good) status for each take can be input by pushing an

NG button on the DXC-D30 during or after shooting. Unless

the NG button is pushed, OK status is automatically input.

■RM-LG1

The RM-LG1 is a new Remote Control Unit specially designed

for the remote control of ClipLink and VTR REC operation. It

has two switches, which can be assigned by the operator from

four choices: VTR, MARK, CUE or NG.
